# Swords of Mars: A Barsoom Adventure That Delivers Exactly What Fans Crave
If you're diving into Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Swords of Mars," you're in for a treat that perfectly encapsulates why this Martian series has captivated readers for generations.
## John Carter Returns in Fine Form
Burroughs brings back his iconic hero John Carter for another pulse-pounding adventure on Barsoom. This eighth installment finds our protagonist facing off against the Assassins Guild - a formidable enemy that threatens the very fabric of Martian society. Carter's solution? Create his own secret force of super assassins to dismantle the guild from within. It's classic Burroughs - straightforward, action-packed, and thoroughly entertaining.
## What Makes This One Special
The audiobook format really brings out the best in this story. You get:
Non-stop adventure as Carter travels to the mysterious moon of Barsoom
Intrigue and espionage in the city of Zedong
A compelling showdown with guild leader Ur Jan
That signature Burroughs writing style that makes you feel like you're right there alongside the action
## Why It Works
What strikes me most about "Swords of Mars" is how it balances familiar elements with fresh excitement. Burroughs doesn't reinvent the wheel here - he gives readers exactly what they want: Carter being Carter, which is precisely why this series endures.
The pacing keeps you engaged throughout, making this audiobook perfect for commutes or long listening sessions. You'll find yourself genuinely invested in whether Carter can pull off his dangerous mission.
This isn't groundbreaking literature, but it doesn't need to be. It's pure adventure storytelling at its finest - exactly what makes Burroughs a legend in science fiction.
Perfect for both newcomers and longtime fans of the series.
